"A" Pillar Molding (trim) Weatherstrip

Pulled both "A" pillars plastic trim pieces off my GTA today to replace the door weatherstripping and noticed a narrow weatherstrip attached to both "A" pillars. Does anyone know where one can find these weatherstrips because mine are dry rotted completely. Also looking for used plastic "A" pillars as well with the clips intact for the plastic screws as mine are broke on both sides....

As far as I know they do not produce them anymore. there is a thread on here somewhere where a guy has replaced them with something from lowes. might try that rute or search the local junk yards.

I'm actually in the process of replacing that foam right now.

I bought this from Autozone for $13



This is how it looks installed:


You have to cut the replacement foam so it's not too wide. Also, don't remove the old foam, you'll need it as backing for the new foam to attach to.

Hey man...That looks really good...Can't tell from the pic, but what's the p/n on the bag ? Was this located on the shelf or did you have to specify it at the counter ?

Metro SUPERSoft Camper Top Weather-Strip
Part Number: MW11425

It was located on the bottom shelf in one of the isles. You get 25ft of weather strip. You only need about 8ft per side.
